In 1999, Bolsonaro said the country’s congress “doesn’t work” and that if he was elected president he would perform a coup the same day. He said he favours dictatorships over democracies.

He also added in the 1999 interview that elections don’t change anything and only civil wars are effective.

“Unfortunately, it will only change on the day that we break out in civil war here and do the job that the military regime didn’t do: killing 30,000. If some innocent people die, that’s fine. In every war, innocent people die.”

“I have five children. Four are men, and then in a moment of weakness the fifth came out a girl.”

In a speech at Rio de Janeiro’s Hebraica Club in April 2017, Bolsonaro spoke about his family.

Bolsonaro’s promises

The president-elect has said he will re-institute the death penalty, empower police to kill suspects, tear up environmental regulations and rescue the country from political corruption through a military-inspired approach to governing.
